As steam and oil escape from regular cookware, a lot of residue settles on the cooktop and adjacent surfaces. However, due to its tightly secured lid, a pressure cooker does not give way to splashes and boilovers. Thus, it requires less cleaning and easy maintenance. Even if you’ve only got a compact kitchen space with which to work, choosing to buy a small pressure cooker could be a fantastic investment. You could transform your cooking experience with a Prestige pressure cooker, taking all the hassle out of your favourite recipes and turning a formerly time-consuming task into a tasteful delight. Made with a sturdy pivot, this pressure cooker does not apply pressure on the plastic handles alone. This gives better support while handling this pressure cooker and the handles last long. Induction-based: While regular cookers can be used on gas stoves or an electric coil, induction-based cookers cook on induction stoves. It heats only the cooker's base and not the sides to cook the food. Furthermore, induction based cookers do not solely work on induction gas stoves, they can be used on other types of gas stoves as well. Buy Pressure Cookers Online From Borosil

Buyers beware - The real capacity is 1.5 liters max, though the advertisement says 2 liters. It is excellent for me, as a bachelor/ single person, cooking food for myself. The item does not have separators. It can be used for only single cooking of one item, at a time. I cook either half a cup rice or one third cup dhal only each occasion. The cooking time is about 5 minutes on a gas stove, while the pressure cooker can be opened after 5 to 6 minutes from taking out of gas stove. The time extends if one uses electric coil. The time extends based on the quantity. The maximum capacity of raw rice is 1.25 cup, since it makes about 1 lit cooked rice. The cooker can be used to the maximum 75% as per brochure. Purchasing a pressure cooker ( प्रेशर कुकर) is an investment in time and money. Pressure cookers have changed quite a bit in the last few years so there are a lot more options to consider. Modern pressure cookers offer many safety features that pressure cookers of the past did not. If overpressure occurs, modern pressure cookers vent excess steam from a valve stem. If the pressure keeps increasing, the sealing gasket on a modern pressure cooker will be pushed out through a safety aperture in the lid. I note that many are attempting to cook dried beans and mushrooms, after soaking in water. This small pressure cooker may not be good for those tasks. In my experience, the pressure cooker is excellent for cooking rice, all kinds of lentils and dals, hard vegetables, etc. I also used the base to make sambar gravy on occasional times. I also used the base as frying pan/ tawa to make upma for large quantity.

So either close the lid only when the water is cold or take the weight off before closing it if the water is hot .

The 6L pressure cooker comes with a practical steamer, divider, and trivet.

Also, cooks who like to supervise the cooking can also go for stovetop cookers.

I got this pressure cooker because pressure cooking improves food quality in seeds and grains by making the toxic proteins in these foods called lectins much easier to digest and therefor much less toxic to the digestive system. I looked at a lot of different types of pressure cookers including the electric ones. I choose this one over an electric pressure cooker because it can be used even if the power goes out. That can be an issue where I live. I like that this cooker is made by a company that has been making pressure cookers for many years, and does not ship the work away to China, but continues to make the pressure cookers it sells in it's own facilities in India as it has always done.
